Since questions are often posted about Death Valley travel, I thought I'd post a link to a fascinating series written by the person who spent years and many trips searching for 4 Germans who disappeared in Death Valley. He eventually found them, or at least some of them, so don't skip to the end but follow his efforts and reasoning. I had a meeting with a ranger in the valley many years before the group was found, and as I'd always had an interest in their disappearance, I brought it up. The leading theory for that fellow was that it was staged due to financial troubles.
The author is a fine writer. There are lessons to be learned about desert conditions and survival and thinking outside the box. He continues to hunt for a hiker missing many years in Joshua Tree.
